Church Relocates After 2-Year Battle With Neighbors
By KATHY STEELE The Tampa Tribune
SEMINOLE HEIGHTS - "After more than two years, a parking dispute between neighbors and church worshippers ended when the city council denied a zoning petition from the owner of the church's building."
"Tavlan said the building had been used as a church for about 50 years. She bought the property as it was going into foreclosure and did not know a previous owner had sold other parcels. The church, which seats about 275 people, looked like a good investment, she said."
Anyone want a church to turn into a really cool home? Once the parking lots were sold off by the previous owner that's all it's good for.
and they only want $370,000 for it!!!
ReplyDeleteWhere can I sign up for a $205,000 profit in less than a year?
ReplyDeleteLet them ask all they want for it, I will be enjoying my quite Sunday mornings for the first time in 3 years.
I also heard the church paid $1,000 a week for the space - so add that to the profit for the poor misinformed investors.
ReplyDeleteYou know being investor is a bit of a gamble, no matter what you are investing in. You win some and not others. But if you are an intelligent investor, I should think you would look at what you are investing in, carefully! The indication here is nothing more than greed. And hey, guess what? It did not pay off! So sell it to someone who will move into it, make it into a really cool house and move along to another investment, hopefully wiser for the experience. And one thing you should have learned is your mistakes should not be corrected at the inconvenience of others! You owe an apology to both the neighborhood and the people who leased church space from you.
ReplyDeleteI think it should be made a historic landmark. It helped keep DOT from encroaching closer to Central Ave. when planning the widening of 275 in the late 80's and early 90's
